prusaprinters

<p>This tricky egg has a hidden latch mechanism that will keep it securely closed until you twist a portion of the base.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/_xfY4cGHNbw"></oembed></figure><p><a href="https://youtu.be/_xfY4cGHNbw">https://youtu.be/_xfY4cGHNbw</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/1muiuHjyLlU"></oembed></figure><p><a href="https://youtu.be/1muiuHjyLlU">https://youtu.be/1muiuHjyLlU</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>Printing</h3><p>All parts can be printed without supports.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Assembly</h3><p>Assembly is the same as the original <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/81786-twist-lock-trick-box-hexagon">Twist Lock Trick Box</a>. Watch <a href="https://youtu.be/_xfY4cGHNbw">this video</a> for the complete process.</p><p><strong>Make sure to pre-tension the spring</strong><br>This will assure that the latches have a strong hold on the base.</p><p><strong>Make sure to glue the spring peg to the bottom shell</strong><br>If you do not fully secure these parts, the mechanism may become detached while in a locked state. I recommend using either super glue or <a href="https://www.3dgloop.com">3D Gloop!</a>, but hot glue can work as well.</p><h3>&nbsp;</h3><h3>Can I sell copies of this?</h3><p>Yes!
